March 2021 – Update

This month we have a new masterclass as well as a few short videos and we will also have a live on the 18th with Andy and Paul talking about White Acres from 7pm.

Then towards the end of the month Paul will be back out doing some fishing and hopefully bring you a few mini sessions.

With it looking like we can Match Fish from the 29th, we have pencilled in Andy for his first match back at Partridge to film it live and we will get that out to you very soon after.

Match Reports

You may have noticed that the Match Reports are no longer listed under the month sections. This is so it is easier for you to find old match reports by either browsing or using the search tool.

For example, if you want to find all matches that were at Tunnel you can search for Tunnel, likewise other venues such as Partridge.

An additional feature is the tags, so if you are watching a video you may see some tags below it, if you click these it will show all videos with the same tags, this is useful when you want to find similar videos for a specific venue or topic.

Hope these changes help, and any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks

Barry

Quick Update

A Quick Update on Match Focus Videos

We want to apologise for the lack of new video content on Match Focus over the past week or so and give everyone an update on what’s been happening behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, we’ve recently had a major issue with our video hosting provider, Vimeo, which has left us facing a proposed annual cost of around $14,000 to continue hosting and delivering the Match Focus video library.

Quite simply, at that level the cost of continuing with the platform is no longer commercially viable for Match Focus.

As a result, we’ve had to make the decision to move our entire video library to a new hosting platform. With the amount of content Match Focus has built up over the years, this is a pretty substantial job and the transfer is currently well underway.

For members, nothing will change in the way you watch Match Focus. Once the switch is complete, you’ll continue to access and watch videos through the Match Focus website just as you always have. It’s simply the technology behind the scenes that’s changing.

The good news is that this is only a temporary disruption. Once the migration is complete, all of our existing content will be available through the new platform and we’ll be back to adding new Match Focus videos as normal.

We’re expecting normal service to resume next week.

We really appreciate everyone’s patience while we make the switch, and we apologise again for the lack of new videos during the transition. It’s a big move behind the scenes, but one that puts Match Focus in a much better position going forward.

Thanks for bearing with us — we’ll be back to normal very soon.
